Molecular Phylogenetic Studies in the Genus Amanita
1170 Molecular phylogenetic studies in the genus Amanita I5ichael Weiß, Zhu-Liang Yang, and Franz Oberwinkler Abstracl A group of 49 Amanita species that had been thoroughly examined morphologically and amtomically was analyzed by DNA sequence compadson to estimate natural groups and phylogenetic rclationships within the genus. Nuclear DNA sequences coding for a part of the ribosomal large subunit were determined and evaluated using neighbor-joining with bootstrap analysis, parsimony analysis, conditional clustering, and maximum likelihood methods, Sections Amanita, Caesarea, Vaginatae, Validae, Phalloideae, and Amidella were substantially confirmed as monophyletic groups, while the monophyly of section Lepidell.t remained unclear. Branching topologies between and within sections could also pafiially be derived. Stbgenera Amanita an'd Lepidella were not supported. The Mappae group was included in section Validae. Grouping hypotheses obtained by DNA analyses are discussed in relation to the distribution of morphological and anatomical chamcters in the studied species. Key words: fungi, basidiomycetes phylogeny, Agarrcales, Amanita systematics, large subunit rDNA, 28S. R6sum6 : A partir d'un groupe de 49 esp,ces d'Amanita prdalablement examinees morphologiquement et anatomiquement, les auteurs ont utilisd la comparaison des s€quences d'ADN pour ddfinir les groupes naturels et les relations phylog6ndtiques de ce genre.

Fso Newsletter 2021
FSO NEWSLETTER 2021 From the President, RICHARD FORTEY Every year that I report on the year’s fungus season for the FSO I make some claim about how peculiar the last twelve months have been compared with some years in the past. I think I am beginning to realize that there is no such thing as a “typical” mushroom year at all, and it is simply a fact that every year is different. 2020 was certainly different in one respect: Covid 19 put a brake on our communal foray activities, so that much of the peak season had to be solitary exploration of pastures and woodland—nothing against the rules in sampling on one’s own ... However, we were at least able to get something done for National Fungus Day in October, even though our regular foray around the Harcourt Arboretum was clearly impossible. Thanks to a concerted effort by our members we were able to assemble a wide variety of fruitbodies together to allow me to present a virtual fungus foray - filmed inside an open barn - which was subsequently made available online through the Oxford University Botanic Garden website. Thanks are due to the Arboretum for making this happen. Judging by the fact that is has been viewed more than 1000 times by the time of writing this report, it was something of a success. Highlights of the presentation were a prodigious specimen of Amanita strobiliformis (Warted Amanita) found by Judy Webb and a colossal Ganoderma resinaceum from Molly Dewey’s garden. Some say that the star of the show was actually a ground beetle that kept on reappearing throughout the shooting of the video, moving from fungus to fungus alongside the presenter! Assorted Russula species + a few Lactarius (Molly Dewey) Amanita strobiliformis (Judy Webb) 2020 was unusual not only for the ‘lockdown’ and its aftermath but also for the long, sunny, and very dry summer.

They play fundamental biological roles in the interactions of fungi with their environment and are found in many different species throughout the fungal kingdom. In particular, their contribution to defence against feeders has been emphasized and extracellular lectins may be involved in the recogni- tion of bacteria, fungal competitors and specific host plants. Their carbohydrate specificities and qua- ternary structures vary widely, but evidence for an evolutionary relationship within the different clas- ses of lectins is provided by the high degree of amino acid sequence identity shared by the different fungal lectins.

Eth- nomycological information was gathered using semi-structured interviews with participants from different mycological associations in Serbia. A total of 62 participants were involved in this study. Eighty-five species belonging to 28 families were identified. All of the reported fungal species were pointed out as edible, and only 15 of them were declared as medicinal. The family Boletaceae was represented by the highest number of species, followed by Russulaceae, Agaricaceae and Polypo- raceae. We also performed detailed analysis of the literature in order to provide scientific evidence for the recorded medicinal use of fungi in Serbia. The male participants reported a higher level of ethnomycological knowledge compared to women, whereas the highest number of used fungi species was mentioned by participants within the age group of 61–80 years. In addition to preserving Citation: Živković,J.; Ivanov, M.; ethnomycological knowledge in Serbia, this study can present a good starting point for further Stojković,D.; Glamoˇclija,J.

Academic Editors: Alessandra Gentili and Chiara Fanali Received: 13 March 2019; Accepted: 1 April 2019; Published: 6 April 2019 Abstract: The wild mushroom Lactarius deliciosus from China was studied for the first time to obtain information about its chemical composition, antioxidant, and antihyperglycemic activities. Nutritional value, dietary fiber, fatty acids, metal elements, free sugars, free amino acids, organic acids, flavor 50-nucleotides, and volatile aroma compounds were determined. Potential antioxidant and antihyperglycemic activities were also tested by investigating 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,20-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals scavenging activities, ferric ion reducing activity, as well as α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities using ethanol and aqueous extracts. The results showed that L. deliciosus was a good wild mushroom with high protein, carbohydrate, and dietary fiber contents, while low in fat and calorie, extensive unsaturated fatty acids contents, with negligible health risks about harmful metal elements.
